CONFIGURING LOAD BALANCING
You can set network utilization thresholds on the UAP to maintain the speed and performance of the wireless network as
clients associate and disassociate with the AP. The load balancing settings apply to both radios.
To configure load balancing and set limits and behavior to be triggered by a specified utilization rate of the access point, click
the Load Balancing tab and update the fields shown in the following figure.
Figure 15: Configuring Load Balancing
Table 25: Load Balancing
Field Description
Load Balancing Enable or disable load balancing:
To enable load balancing on this AP, click Enable.
To disable load balancing on this AP, click Disable.
Utilization for No New
Associations
Provide the percentage of network bandwidth utilization allowed on the radio before the AP stops
accepting new client associations.
The default is 0, which means that all new associations will be allowed regardless of the utilization
rate.
Note: After you configure the load balancing settings, you must click Apply to apply the changes and to save the
settings. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens,
wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change AP settings when WLAN traffic
is low.
